I was wondering how I can add a URL tag in my signature here. I want it to be a link when I click it, but not to have the actual link, but like the title of the website or something like that.

FOR EXAMPLE:

The link is to redsox.com

However, I do not want it to say: redsox.com, but Red Sox.

How can I do this? Thanks.
 
Like this:

[ url="redsox.com"]Red Sox[/url ]

without the spaces by the brackets.
 
Yes and there are instructions. However, all you need is
[ URL="http://cubs.com"]CUBS[ / URL]

Just remove the spaces.

CUBS
 
Here is a handy list of vB codes and how tos

You don't have to put quote marks around the URL. These are the same:
[url="https://www.macrumors.com"]MacRumors[/url]

[url=https://www.macrumors.com]MacRumors[/url]​

The "Insert Link" tool (the one with the
createlink.gif
icon) adds extraneous quote marks, and they don't hurt anything, but they aren't needed if you type a URL yourself.
